Sundown Audio

Headunit only has 2 pre-outs but I need to install a third amp


Recommended Posts

I just don't want to use Ys and cut the voltage in half, I have 2 4v preouts, id have to use a Y on one the rear/sub preout and in turn wouldn't that make my subs not hit as hard? Could I use a 2 way crossover going from the front preout on My HU to the crossover and run the lpf to the door sub amp and the hpf to the 4 channel, then use the rear/sub preout on my HU and go straight to the amp?

y spilters will not and do not split your voltage in half it will give 4 volts to both amps

thats like saying if you have a distro block on your power wire and 2 amps each amp will get 6 volts lol

Have you ever had your woofers blown?

Damn, you guys are so smart. I'm learning. Dick. That's what I was told by someone just like you who thinks they are the "God" of car audio. Why does it honestly matter that you know more about it then I do? I'm learning, I've been doing this for a year. And I am actually capable of a lot more then you assholes think.
